Getting the right broadband deal for you
If you've been with your broadband provider for a while it's likely any introductory offers will have ended and you might be paying more than you need to, or if your broadband is no longer up to scratch for home working and Netflix marathons switching could help you get more for your money.
When searching for the best package, first think about what's right for you. Consider what you’ll be using the internet for and any extras you’d like to get.
With Uswitch you can compare a wide range of broadband deals, just enter your postcode and then filter by speed, price and provider to help you make the most suitable choice for you.
Uswitch is an Ofcom accredited, free and informative comparison tool. It is the UK's biggest Broadband comparison site. NatWest receives a fee for each switch. When clicking ‘Compare Broadband deals’ you’ll be taken to the Uswitch website, any subsequent dealings are between you and Uswitch and that neither NatWest nor any member of the NatWest Group will be party to or responsible for those dealings.
